Erin go Boo-Yah

In honor of St. Patty's Day and my Irish heritage, here are my Top 5 Gleefully Stereotypically Irish Characters!

5. Cassidy, the Irish Vampire



Violent, has not one, but TWO major drinking problems.

4. Hitman



Violent but doesn't have a drinking problem because he enjoys every minute of his drinking.

3. Banshee, a.k.a. Sean Cassidy



Starts out as an insultingly ape-faced supervillain with a pipe, ends up as a stereotypically Irish hero who actually has his own keep and says things like "Aye", "Saints" and "Begorrah" all the time.

2. Shamrock



Irish, Catholic, has "luck powers." Retires to be a hairdresser. No word on whether or not she's now cooking potatoes with her husband, Lucky the Leprechaun.

1. Siryn, a.k.a. Teresa Cassidy


Check all that apply:

-Catholic
-Alcoholic
-Irish Brogue
-Can make people fall in love with her using superpowered version of exaggerated Irish Brogue
-Same powers as her Dad, Banshee
-Red haired


Faith and begorrah! This blarney's enough to make a fella right jaded!


REAL IRISH PEOPLE WHOM I DO NOT FEEL SHAME FOR ENJOYING THE EXPLOITS OF:

Flogging Molly rocks out!



Irish Reporters are not going to eat your BS with a smile!



Sinead O'Connor and The Chieftans are more Irish than you can handle!

I hear ya. We must lift/donate a pint today in their honor.

There seriously needs to be an Absolute Hitman, if only for the zombie penguins.
